A study to improve the accuracy of a map-based compressor model with experiment was performed. Corrections on the effects of suction gas superheat and heat leakage from a compressor shell are required to apply the compressor amp model based on the empirical performance data(map) of compressor manufacturers to the actual system. So experiments to assess the effects of superheat and hat leakage were performed and the corrected equations were made. Compressors and refrigerant used in the experiment were the high pressure type rotary compressor and R-22, experiments were performed by compressor calorimeter. From the experiment, a volumetric efficiency correction factor$(F_ν)$ showed the value of 0.77, slightly higher than 0.75 proposed by Dabiri and Rice for low pressure type reciprocating compressor, and the heat leakage from the compressor shell turned out to be a factor that influenced the discharged mass flow rate. The relation between heat leakage of compressor shell and the variation of discharged mass flow rate from compressor was considered in compressor map modeling as an empirical function. With this function, the prediction accuracy of compressor model in system conditions was improved.

The purpose of this paper was to find out the proper equation to predict the gas transfer rate for designing intravenous artificial lung assist device. The prepared hollow fiber modules were examined under various experimental conditions through experimental modeling before inserted the artificial lung assist d $\varepsilon$ vice into as venous. As a result, we can estimate the gas transfer as a function of the packing density. The gas transfer obtained from the experiment was similar to that from the equation, confirming the usefulness equation. Therefore, we can conclude the gas transfer of the intravenous artificial lung assist device as a function of the packing density, and this functions are very useful for predicting the gas transfer of the intravenous artificial lung assist device.

As it has been reported that opioids such as morphine and methionine-enkephalin induced antidiuresis and antinatriuresis along with decrease in renal hemodynamics when given intracerebroventricularly(ivt), the renal action of ivt naloxone, a pure antagonist of morphine, and its influence upon the morphine action were investigated in this study. Less than $0.3{\mu}M/kg$ naloxone ivt did not change renal funtion. $1{\mu}M/kg$ ivt tended to, increase urine flow rate and induce transient natriuresis. $3{\mu}M/kg$ ivt produced transient: natriuresis. $3{\mu}M/kg$ ivt produced marked diuresis and natriuresis without any changes of renal hemodynamics. $10{\mu}M/kg$ ivt produced significant increases of urine flow rate and excretion of sodium without any changes of renal hemodynamics. Morphine $0.03{\mu}M/kg$ ivt produced marked decrement in renal hemodynamics along with decreases of water and sodium excretion, as previously shown by Kang. These effects of ivt morphine were completely abolished by the pretreatment with $0.3{\mu}M/kg$ naloxone. These observations provide further evidence that opiate receptors and endorphins in the brain might play an important role in the center-mediated regulation of the renal function in the rabbit.

Rifling force has a torsion impulse effect on the gun tube and thus generates undesirable vibration of the gun tube about its bore axis, putting additional stress on the projectile. High rifling force at the muzzle of the gun tube may adversely influence the trajectory of the projectile. And, the service life of rifled gun barrels is known to depend on the rifling force. Rifling force along the path of the projectile in the longitudinal direction of the gun tube can be described with projectile mass, projectile velocity, gas pressure curve and rifling angle. Under the same conditions, the character of the rifling of the gun barrel decisively influences the rifling force curve. To reduce the above mentioned harmful effect, locally distinct maximum of rifling force has to be avoided and maximum rifling force needs to be minimized. The best way to minimize the maximum rifling force is to design a rifling angle function so that the rifling force curve has a near trapezoidal shape. In this paper a new approach to make the optimal rifling force curve is described. The rifling angle determining the rifling force is developed by combined Fourier series and polynomial function to satisfy both the convergence and boundary condition matching problems.

When we control the level of the steam generator in the nuclear power plants, a swell and shrink arises from many disturbances such as feed water rate, feed water temperature, main steam flow rate, and coolant temperature. If we use the conventional type of PI controller in this system, we will not have stability during controlling at lower power, the removal function of disturbances, and a load follow-up control effectively. In this paper, we study the application of a 2-Degree of Freedom(2-DOF) PID controller to the level control of the steam. generator of nuclear power plants through the simulation and the experimental steam generator. We use the parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ of the 2-DOF PID controller for the removal of disturbances and the parameters Kp,Ti,Td of the conventional type of PID controller for controlling setpoint. The back-propagation learning algorithm of neural network is used for tuning the 2-DOF PID controller. We can find satisfactory results of the removal of the disturbances and the tracking function in the change of setpoint through the simulation and experimental steam generator.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is one of the popular surgical procedure for snoring and sleep apnea syndrome. The main principle of this procedure is to reduce abundant velopharyngeal soft tissues resulting in a shortened soft palate, which may cause some alterations in speech sound. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of velopharyngeal function after UPPP in the view of aerodynamics. Thirty three patients who received uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for correcting snoring and sleep apnea were included in this study. The airflow, airflow rate and air pressure during the production of oral and nasal consonants were measured before surgery and 4 week and 8 week after surgery. The oral air flows and pressures for oral and nasal consonants were not changed after surgery. However, oral air pressure for nasal consonants were increased significantly after surgery. The nasal air flows for oral consonants were not changed after surgery, but for nasal consonants were decreased at 8 weeks after surgery. The nasal flow rate for oral and nasal consonants were increased at 8 weeks after surgery. The uvulopalatopharyngoplasty may result in affecting the aerodynamic air streams during speech production.

We considered the bandwidth selection method which has asymptotic optimal convergence rate $n^{-1/2}$ in kernel regression function estimation. For the proposed bandwidth selection, we considered Mean Averaged Squared Error as a performance criterion and its Taylor expansion to the fourth order. Then we estimate the bandwidth which minimizes the estimated approximate value of MASE. Finally we show the relative convergence rate between optimal bandwidth and proposed bandwidth.

Fresh and hardened behaviors of a new hybrid fiber (steel fiber, polyvinyl alcohol fiber and calcium carbonate whisker) reinforced cementitious composites (HyFRCC) with admixtures (fly ash, silica fume and water reducer) have been studied. Within the limitations of the equipment and testing program, it is illustrated that the rheological properties of the new HyFRCC conform to the modified Bingham model. The relations between flow spread and yield stress as well as flow rate and plastic viscosity both conform well with negative exponent correlation, justifying that slump flow and flow rate test can be applied to replace the other two as simple rheology measurement and control method in jobsite. In addition, for the new HyFRCC with fly ash and water reducer, the mathematical model between the rheological and mechanical properties conform well with the quadratic function, and these quadratic function curves are always concave upward. Based on mathematical analysis, an optimal range of rheology/ flowability can be identified to achieve ideal mechanical properties. In addition, this optimization method can be extended to PVA fiber reinforced cement-based composites.

In this paper, since the research on the etching of SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$O$_{9}$ (SBT) thin film was few (specially Cl$_2$-base ), we had studied the surface reaction of SBT thin films using the OES in high density plasma etching as a function of rf power, dc bias voltage, and Cl$_2$(Cl$_2$+Ar) gas mixing ratio. It had been found that the etch rate of SBT thin films appeared to be more affected by the physical sputtering between Ar ions and surface of the SBT compared to the chemical reaction in our previous papers$^{1.2}$ . The change of Cl radical density that is measured by the OES as a function of gas combination showed the change of the etch rate of SBT thin films. Therefore, the chemical reactions between Cl radical in plasma and components of the SBT enhance to increase the etch rates of SBT thin films and these results were confirmed by XPS analysis.
